FT Piggy Accessory Challenge

One of our club members liked the skunk idea inspired by Ron's logo idea. He is an avid model rocket builder as well as an RC pilot He would like me to build it with a rocket motor that can be fired in flight to look like the skunk is spraying. Andy said he can design everything to make the rocket motor work and eliminate the ejection charge. Might be a chalkenge to get it to balance, but how do I say no to that.. Here is my Ai concept for the skunk. Hopefully Hobby Town has one left.

Very doable. Just as long as you isolate rocket so it doesn't melt the pig's foam. Should be a crowd pleasure when fired.

You could also use just a smoke candle and avoid the thrust and ejection charge of the rocket motor. Might not be as fun though. 😁

Andy knows how to remove the ejection charge. We are using small A motors to keep it light.

Now you just need to put the ESCs in 3D mode so you can reverse the thrust on one for TURBO blender mode!!!!

Working on Piggy Le Pew. Mounted a rocket tube, made some rounded ears, extended the nose and made a tail. I was worried anout getting the tail to big. Came out pretty good. Time for paint.

I used an A motor size estes rocket kit. Just made amount against the back former. The rocketbtube was level mounted under the former. I let the rocket tube extend oast the former and added a triangle piece on each side for added strength.
